Understood, I will re-implement and re-submit my patch tomorrow. Thanks for the info - this kind of detail in the BZ itself would be very useful for me. My job is just to document, i'm not a subject matter expert by any stretch.

NACK.

cpu_shares is not available for all schedulers. The set of available
parameters and their valid ranges depends on the hypervisor:

LXC: type = posix, params = cpu_shares
Xen: type = credit, params = weight, cap
ESX: type = allocation, params = reservation, limit, shares
QEMU/KVM: type = posix, params = cpu_shares

Yes, documenting this properly isn't a simple task.

People complain about bad error messages In the bug report. They are
right, the error messages should be improved.
